Starting off on a somber note tonight. Many well-known names have passed on. Ossie Davis, well-respected actor, died of natural causes in Miami. He was 87. Eric Griffiths is a name you may not be familiar with, but he was a key player in the creation of the Beatles. He formed a band with John Lennon called the Quarrymen while they were in school. This band evolved into the Beatles. Griffiths left the band about the time George Harrison joined. He passed away at 64 from cancer. And boxing legend Max Schmeling has passed away at the age of 99. No cause of death was given, but I'm pretty sure the cause was the fact that he was 99. Hopefully that's all the death news for today.
